    I've worked with this for 10 years and I strongly discourage you from doing this job. Women are generally good welders though, it's a precision job that takes time and foresight. But again, it's physically demanding. This is the cons of doing this:

    1:You'll spend 8 hours a day looking into a very high intensity arc beam, even with tinted glass as protection (this glass can block out the sun's UV rays) you still get a lot of radiation straight into your eyes. This burns the retina and will eventually cause major damage to your eyes.

    2: You'll work in a very warm environment. and I'm not talking 30 degrees here, try 50-60 degrees Celsius and we're getting closer. This leads to crisp dry skin and you're likely to develop exem(Not sure of the English word?) and a whole list of other various skin defects.

    3: Extremely heavy lifting. We once did a calculation how much we generally lift everyday at work. We came up to over 10 tons overall/per person. This weight goes down straight to your back,neck and knees. This is not ergonomic lifting in any sense

    4: Inhaling of dangerous gases/fumes and chemicals. Every day you'll have to snort out your nose because it becomes clogged by metallic dust and chemicals. This is only the crap that your mucosa picks up, rest goes straight down your lungs. This is smoking on an extreme level. Smoking is healthy in comparison.

    Oh and also you're always at risk of being crushed to death by metal constructions, driven over by trucks and causing explosions when accidentally mixing one or another chemical that shouldn't be mixed. If you're cool with all that and still think the money's worth it, go ahead.

    I've worked with this for 10 years and my back, neck is almost completely gone and hurt on a daily basis. My eyesight is that of a mole and my knees are starting to give out. And I'm 23. What about the rest of my 40 years of work life? xD

    I can carry two litres of pepsi from the car to the door

    That's a bit of a deal breaker, I'm not super good at the whole staying out of trouble and keeping alive bit.
    You can use lifting aid for most things so it's not that bad as I made it out to be. A strong girl/woman can easily make the mandatory lifts needed. And don't worry about the things that can potentially kill you. You'll be scared shitless most of the time (This is good) and you always think 4 times before doing anything. It's not a safe work environment but if you're careful and respect dangerous things you generally never have any accidents.

    People at these jobs are amazing too! You'll never have a dull moment. Everyone lives by the "I might die at anytime"mentality so they make most out of it

    EDIT: Also do you have that hot "dala" dialect? I dunno why but people within the heavy industry always respect girls who have this dialect for some reason. xD

    Haha! Something like that xD

    Had one guy trying to rinse alcoholic hand soap into liquor in the office bathroom. We also had this mentally challenged kid who kept breaking things and always blamed his brother, whom magically always escaped (He didn't really have a brother). And once we did a Oxygen/acetylene bomb which turned out bad and accidentally became napalm bomb instead. We have heaps of fun :>

    Oh almost forgot! We made a mentos bomb from our bosses coca cola. This was less popular as it managed to destroy his cellphone, keyboard and computer screen. He even threatened to fire the one involved. But we were all involved so that didn't work out for him.

    False. Coke has a super acidic taste and reminds me of puke. Pepsi is crisp and refreshing.

    Yes. There is a disturbing lack of librarians with sexy skirts and glasses in today's society.
